Re: [cobalt-users] Raq3 or Raq3i

[Will DeHaan <will@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Miguel,

Buy the RaQ 3i, use the dual ethernet interfaces for clustering servers
or to split out your maintenance traffic from production traffic.  Why
schedule backups over your production network if you don't need to?

The PCI slot adds great flexibility to your server.  Add 32 serial ports
via a Cyclades card, an additional pair of fast ethernet interfaces, a
FC-AL interface for SAN, a sound card (Ensoniq PCI/Sound blaster PCI128
works) etc.. 

The RaQ 3i is a much more versatile server.
